The only time a team has blown a 3-0 lead in baseball was the Yankees last year against the Red Sox. It's happened in hockey twice. Never in basketball.

How many times has a pitcher with a 4.5+ ERA staved off elimination in Game 4?

This thing is over tonight.

I don't want to feel comfortable about this series until it is over. Still, the White Sox haven't lost consecutive games in almost a month, since they were still "choking" in Detroit. Meanwhile, the Astros have lost four of their last five, including two at home.

I feel good. The next time the Sox win this October, I will feel, well, words wouldn't do it justice.
